A 60 minute full-immersion lessonfollowed by a snack for pre-school to early elementary school bilingual students. Students will prepare for reading and writing (becoming familiar with the sounds of the Italian alphabet and practicing morphology) and continue developing vocabulary and oral communication skills through interactive songs, stories, games and imaginative play that introduce aspects of contemporary Italian culture.

Students will use the Raccontami 1 textbook and a series of workbooks developed by Anna Maria Jaker for the course of the two to three year cycle. The workbooks are included in the tuition, but the textbook should be purchased by parents before the first day of class. Used books may be sold and/or purchased through the ICC forum.
